Guys, have you ever fabricated your own ignition cables?

1. Put boot on wire (watch orientation)
2. Strip appropriate amount of insulator from end (try to not cut the conductor)
3. Fold conductor backwards over the insulator
4. Crimp on terminal with conductor opposite the crimp.
5. Slide boot over terminal ( if you need to lube the boot be sure the lube is NOT electricly conductive.
6. Rinse and repeat the other end

What's the difference between 7mm and 8 mm ignition cable? Will either work on my slant six?
